A Stolen Night
They meet again after the long absence
The letters and phone calls to keep in touch
Do not help the awkward hug as their eyes meet
One unable to touch and the other craving it
It is too late at night to sort out so they move on out to the fresh air
Both knowing the time is limited for them at this point as he needs to face the consequences
of his actions of this night
They lie there being close, touching but separated
Sexual tension in the air
Unfulfilled dreams and thoughts for both
Knowing that the separation will be happening again in the light of the day
Until the next time they can be together for longer than a couple of hours they cling to the
promise that things will get better.
